More quotes by Neil Peart
All this machinery making modern music can still be open-hearted. Not so boldly charted, it's really just a question of your honesty.
Neil Peart
The ones we wish could hear us have heard it all before.
Neil Peart
You just become adaptable and try to lead a good life in ways that make sense, regardless. Because I know at the end of it, if I'm going to meet Jesus or Allah or Buddha, I'm going to be all right.
Neil Peart
You can surrender without a prayer, but never really pray without surrender. You can fight without ever winning, but never ever win without a fight.
Neil Peart
I'm less comfortable in a gregarious social situation, and you can be introverted and still share everything. It just means that you're guarded.
Neil Peart
Pure libertarianism believes that people will be generous and help each other. Well, they won't. I wish it were so, and I live that way.
Neil Peart
I don't like lyrics that are just thrown together, that were obviously written as you went along, or the song was already written and the guy made up the lyrics in five minutes.
Neil Peart
Like a force of nature love can fade with the stars at dawn...
Neil Peart
To me, the highest expression of life is art with jokes. It's very rarified, very difficult to accomplish if you want to be more than just funny, and more than just jokes about human gaseousness.
Neil Peart
When I'm riding my motorcycle, I'm glad to be alive. When I stop riding my motorcycle, I'm glad to be alive.
Neil Peart
Lotus-land as it appears in 'Free Will' is simply a metaphor for an idealized background, a 'land of milk and honey.' It is sometimes also used as a pejorative name for Los Angeles, though that was not in my mind when I wrote it.
Neil Peart
For me, drum elements are like hieroglyphics - I think of a certain physical figure, and a little three-dimensional glyph will appear in my mind as I'm playing.
Neil Peart
But glittering prizes and endless compromises, Shatter the illusion of integrity...
Neil Peart
I'm a linear thinking agnostic, but not an atheist folks.
Neil Peart
Sometimes you're up against everybody in the whole world - even your friends and family are saying, You need a single. You feel sometimes incredibly alone.
Neil Peart
There's a new reality born every minute. Unless one is a believer in predestination (in which case I'll call the prestidigitator), or other puppet-like restraints on our powers, one is free to imagine and effect changes on the world. And if enough people do it, there are big changes. These things happen. Anything can.
Neil Peart
To get nostalgic about other people's music, or even about your own, makes a terrible statement about the condition of your life and your prospects for the future.
Neil Peart
How can anybody be enlightened? Truth is after all so poorly lit
Neil Peart
It's always a happy day when YYZ appears on our luggage tags.
Neil Peart
Better the pride that resides as a citizen of the world than a pride that divides when a colorful rag is unfurled
